00:00Analysts have warned that UMNO Deputy President Muhammad Hassan's disappointment about the distribution of political positions in Negeri Sembilan
00:08could weaken cooperation between Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional ahead of the 16th general election.
00:16Awang Azman Awang Pawi of University of Malaya said Muhammad's view could be seen as the official stance of BN and UMNO
00:23and could therefore affect cooperation with PH at the grassroots level.
00:28Awang Azman said tensions in Negeri Sembilan could also spread to other states, including Johor, which is governed by BN,
00:35unless PH and BN work together to reach a fairer and more mature power-sharing mechanism.
00:42Arif Aizuddin Azlan of University Technology Mara also said failure to reach a more equitable distribution of political positions in Negeri Sembilan
00:50could erode the BN-PH relationship.
00:53On Tuesday, Muhammad, who is also the Negeri Sembilan BN chairman, expressed disappointment with the allocation of political positions in Negeri Sembilan,
01:03claiming it was not in line with the spirit of cooperation practiced at the federal level.
